Finally Found Physician
Today we finally got my mom in to see a new neurologist. We had seen and heard him a couple of times at the Parkinson’s support group. He spent a good amount of time with her asking questions and doing tests. We came armed with some questions, but he answered almost all of them without […]
Neighbor’s Faithful News
Today in celebration of pi day, I made an apple pie and we had our neighbors over. They told us that they had been struggling the past week or so as the husband’s sister was in the hospital. She was found unresponsive in her room in the senior living building. The doctors had been working […]
Surprise Blessing
My mom, dad, and friend went to lunch today. Before we left, my mom and I made a stop in the restroom. As we made our way to the front door to exit, we could see my dad and friend outside talking to a stranger. We wondered what it was all about. By the time […]
Coloring Book
Quite a while ago, my sister and I bought a couple of coloring books and some colored pencils. We thought it would be a good activity for my mom and anyone else in the house since we heard it is supposed to be relaxing. I looked at the pictures to decide which one I wanted […]
Beautiful Bird Song
Today was more mild than yesterday so my mom and I went out for our walk. The sun was warm and they air was crisp. We noticed a little greenery popping up here and there. Birds were chirping in the trees. We came to one very large evergreen and just as we reached it, the […]

Day and Night
My dad has been delving deeper into his genealogy and finding very interesting stories. His great-grandfather’s mother’s maiden name was Day. The man’s fiancée’s mother’s name was Night. Living in the area were 6 Days and 7 Nights. As told in the genealogy book written in 1894,”…by the marriage the Day and Night were made […]
More Pleasant and Peaceful
Today my mom had cataract surgery on her second eye. It was quite a different experience from last time. When we arrived, the waiting room was only about 1/3 full compared to the crowded space a few weeks ago. Everything went at a more calm pace and the nurses and staff were not so frazzled. […]
Pinching Patience
Today my mom, dad, and I read the scripture for the day. It was about needing to forgive others the way God forgives us. The prayer and challenge was to practice forgiveness throughout the day. My mom said that she already forgave my dad. He answered that it was for something he didn’t even know […]
